PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Greetings from the Executive Committee and the volunteers of the Gujarati Samaj of Baltimore.I’m excited to serve as the President of the Gujarati Samaj of Baltimore and ready to build on the success that we have achieved over the years. I appreciate the trust and confidence that the previous presidents and committee members have placed in me. It is an honor to serve you.I would like to thank and welcome all the new Life Members of the Samaj. We held our Annual General Body meeting on December 3, 2023, and reviewed our preliminary unaudited financial results for the past year along with the plans for future events (please see 2024 events calendar). The Treasurer’s Report for 2023 provides a comparative analysis of the past two years and is available on file.

We are starting the 2024 series of exceptional programs with a snow tubing event on February 24, 2024, at AvalancheXpress. This year we are aiming for additional events and activities to encourage youth participation; we will provide more details on this as things materialize. Some significant event dates this year are – Picnic on August 11, Navratri Garba on September 28 and October 5, 12, & 19, and Diwali Dinner on November 9. We are very thankful for your support, encouragement, and appreciation for our programs over the years. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend these events.
